Ingredients
- 400 g (14 oz) pork (or any meat), cubed
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 1 green apple, peeled and cubed
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1/2 onion, sliced into rings
- Black pepper
- Fresh herbs for serving
Instructions
- Toss the meat with the soy sauce and sour cream (no extra salt needed) and marinate while you chop the vegetables.
- Layer the apple, bell pepper, potatoes and onion in clay pots; top with the meat. Season the vegetables if you like.
- Cover and bake at 200-220°C (400-425°F) for 40-60 minutes. Serve with fresh herbs.
Tips
- Cut the vegetables in similar sizes so they cook evenly and stay tender, not mushy.
- Keep the pots covered the whole time to trap steam and keep the meat juicy. For more slow-cooking inspiration, visit Allrecipes.
- Taste before serving and adjust the pepper or add a pinch of salt only if needed, since soy sauce is already salty.
